I knew going into HROT that it's a competent FPS styled after the original Quake with the aesthetic of drabness maxed out for scenery composed of 50 shades of brown. What I didn't expect was how there's a pervasive oddball sense of humor threaded throughout the dingy dystopia that endeared the project to me beyond simply providing some top-notch shooting action.

I'm pleased to report that enemy HP values and attack patterns provide plenty of variables to consider in the middle of a firefight, and that the levels "flowed nicely" at least by my standards.

A worthy addition to any FPS aficionado's collection.
